One of the few properly academic studies of modern paganism. ( )

This is an encyclopedic volume with a lot of information, from a lot of different sources. It can be somewhat dry in places, but I found it, over all, extremely enjoyable. This is the book you need if you want REAL information about REAL witches, Wiccans, pagans, Neo-pagans, Druids, etc. ( )

A great look at paganism in real life, not just in the pages of the many books out there. Margot Adler goes to the individuals who started their own traditions, aid their traditions, and live their traditions daily in an attempt to bring attention to the normalcy of the pagan religion. A must read (even if it is considered a bit dry, as it's non-fiction) for anyone interested in the umbrella of the Pagan religions. ( )

If you're trying to decide what Path is suitable for you, this survey of the various Pagan paths might be very helpful in making that decision. Margot Adler does a great job of looking at Paganism as it was back in the 80s. Her more recent update of the book has more current information, but the main intent remains the same. ( )

It's been awhile since I read this book - around 6 years or so. I know that some newer editions have come out, at least, since I purchased this book. Nevertheless, it's a great survey of modern Paganism in the 1980s and really gives you a sense of the breadth of the movement. For a non-fiction book, it's a fairly light read and Adler has a very good perspective on Paganism's history. If you can't get through Hutton's histories, you might give this book a try. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 014019536X, Paperback)

Popular demand for this clear-sighted compendium of information about the rebirth of Pagan religions hasn't waned since its initial publication in 1979. Distinguished by the journalism of National Public Radio columnist Margot Adler, Drawing Down the Moon explains this diverse and burgeoning religion's philosophies and activities while dispelling stereotypes that have long been associated with it. Most people don't realize that pagan simply refers to pre-Christian polytheistic nature religions, such as the various Native American creeds, Japanese Shinto, Celtic Druid, and Western European Wicca. Originally, the word pagan meant "country dweller" and was a derogatory term in Rome in the third century A.D., not unlike calling someone a hick today. If you find yourself feeling queasy when you hear the words witch or pagan, a healthy dose of reeducation via Drawing Down the Moon could be the cure. --P. Randall Cohan
